Alberta budget mixed bag for average residents
The 2006 Alberta budget raises the personal income tax exemption slightly and expands the health care premium threshold, with modest property tax relief from school taxes.

Corporate tax cuts benefit big business, and the horse racing industry gains 63 million.
